How the hell am I going to actually kill this thing? It is big and scary, but so is all the monsters I face…..maybe I should just ask? Heck I never tried that, maybe it just might work. Also it's info did say it gives true answer to questions.
"So what is the best way I can kill you?" Percy asked the demon, "and where are all your weak points?And how would you react if I force feed you Ambrosia and Nectar?"
The demon looked at Percy with a look which basically said, 'really?'
Percy shrugged, "well I tried, get him guys!"
Percy jumped to side as Zed and Craig charged the big wolf. Alecto drew up an arrow and fired at the thing's eyes. But before the arrow, Zed and Craig managed to hit the thing, it opened it's mouth and roared. The shock wave alone tossed all three back onto the floor. Percy grimaced, 'this is going to be a lot harder than I expected.'
Percy then jumped forward just as it closed its jaws and with Riptide he cut across the things right eye;
Ping!
Critical hit! 350% of 250 attack= 875 Attack!
Marchosias HP: 37,125/38,000
Percy then ducked down as Marchosias moved backwards in pain. Black blood dripped along Riptide, it seemed demons from hell had black blood. Not really that surprising. Just then;
Warning! Attack from front!
Percy jumped back just as Marchosias swiped at him with one of his gigantic paws. Percy grimace "Alecto light him up!"
"Right boss!" the Fury called out as she fired arrow after arrow at the monster, some stuck while others couldn't penetrate the fur.
Marchosias HP: 37,005/38,000
"Zed bash his skull in! Craig cover Zed until he gets a clear shot in!" Percy called out as he put away Riptide and pulled out his climbing gloves. He had a crazy idea in mind.
Zed roared out, "got it boss!" While Craig simply nodded. The Knight charged Marchosias and swung at him skillfully with his giant black blade. The demon jumped away from each strike and on the 5th doge it pounced on Craig and crushed his helmet with its powerful jaws.
Marchosias then moved back and spit the helmet out revealing an empty suit of armour, empty except for the mass of shadows living in it. Craig moved again and swung at the demon, which kind of looked surprised considering Craig was headless.
As the two began their dance of attacking and dodging Craig's helmet slowly formed back out of the shadows replacing the one Marchosias chewed up. Zed then jumped in, "eat this doggy!" He then swung downwards and hit Marchosias right on the spine. A loud crack could be heard;
Marchosias HP: 36,005/38,000
"Shit!" cried Zed as he jumped back from one of the giant wolf's paws, "why can't we ever fight a weak guy boss? We either fight a giant zombie, a damned Knight or a giant robotic snake. Like what the hell man?!"
"Kind of busy right now Zed," Percy called back. The son of Poseidon was now climbing the wall of the cave using his climbing gloves. He reached the top and pulled out the Razor whip he just got.
Razor Whip,
A whip that is extremely sharp when mana is called thru it. This whip is extremely dangerous do not, I repeat do not use it for BDSM. Got it?
Attack 25
Percy flicked his hand and swung it around a stalactite hanging off the wall, "get him here!"
Zed looked up and nodded, "right!"
But Marchosias was smarter than it looked, after all it did have very high Int and Wis points. It knew Zed was trying to push it towards Percy and was constantly moving away, dancing between Craig and Zed's sword strikes, 'I really need to teach those two how to work together,' thought Percy.
Eventually Percy got tired of waiting, he checked to see whether the whip was wound tight around the stalactite and then kicked off the wall. He swung himself towards and landed right on Marchosias, stunning the monster in surprise. He then channeled mana into the whip causing it to sharpen and cut the rock formation.
Marchosias buckled and threw Percy off, which is just what Percy wanted. He swung his whip forward at the wolf, causing the stalactite to soar through the air like a giant bullet.
The wolf demon saw this and quickly opened it's mouth, "DARK WAVE!"
Percy's eyes widened in surprise as a blast of darkness flew out of Marchosias. It destroyed the rock being hurled at it and in the process ripped the whip to shreds. Percy then watched as it came to him, but Alecto jumped in the way pulling him away from the path of destruction.
"Shit!" Percy exclaimed the moment he got on his feet. The attack Marchosias used hit the stone wall causing a giant crater. Percy then looked down and saw the Razor whip from before now destroyed, well that didn't last long did it?
Percy threw the whip away and looked at the beast. It was panting and looked tired though it clearly had enough energy to spare, but the important thing was the fact it actually spoke, it wasn't a normal monster that's for sure.
Zed jumped into battle once again and this time managed to hit the beast;
Marchosias HP: 35,005/38,000
Percy then pulled out several water bottles and emptied them all out. He quickly created a small puddle near the wall, all he needed now was to trick the wolf here."Craig get him over here!"
The Knight nodded and quickly the two battled on. The knight pushed the wolf back along with Zed, but again Marchosias was smart, it understood human language. It refused to go anywhere near the puddle but it was close enough for Percy.
Percy took out Riptide and held it ready, "Water's kill." The water from the puddle lept up and caught Marchosias' feet before it could escape. The water held it in place as Percy coated his blade with water which then began to spin like a buzz saw.
Craig however was not letting this chance slip as well. He attacked the beast furiously with skill and precision. Eventually Zed got in on this as well;
Marchosias HP: 34,300/38,000
It's HP was getting low and dropping. The wolf got angry and then exploded outwards sending a shock wave of darkness out knocking Zed and Craig away, but Percy was far away not to be affected by it. He then saw his chance and as soon as the shock wave ended he charged the wolf with his blade.
Percy drew back his sword and jumped bringing Riptide down on it's neck,
Attack: 250 + 60% bonus for sword mastery = 400 Attack,
400 Attack x 11 (water skill level) = 4,400 Attack!
Critical strike! 350% of 4400 Attack = 15,400 Attack!
Percy's strike didn't behead the thing but it did manage to do a lot of damage.
Marchosias HP: 18,900/38,000
Maybe just another strike and-
"ENOUGH!" the monster roared as it exploded into smoke only to reform next to Alecto across the room. He then bit her head off causing the servant to turn into smoke and flow back into the gauntlet.
Marchosias then sucked in all the water Percy had spilt during his Water's kill attack leaving the cave dry. It then turned to Zed, "ah boss it's looking at me," Zed replied as Craig and Percy walked forward with their swords at the ready.
Marchosias then turned into a dark cloud again and flew ahead right at them. Percy jumped backwards as Marchosias dashed into the wall of the cave, 'okay maybe he doesn't have complete control over that power of his yet, meaning I can use this to my advantage.'
"Hey you know what I heard about you?" Percy asked with a smirk, "I heard your mama is so fat she went out in high heels and came back in flipflops."
Marchosias looked at Percy with a look of confusion, "are….are you telling you mama jokes?"
"Yup. Your mama is so fat she sued xbox 360 for guessing her weight."
"Ah actually the xbox 360 is a product not a company, hence it cannot be sued. Microsoft on the other hand can," replied Marchosias with a know it all tone in his voice.
Okay so I am right now fighting a super strong demon that is smart, can turn into shadows and maybe most dangerous of all be immune to my insults. He is like a child of Athena…..so what would piss Annabeth off? Percy then took a deep breath and called out,"NEEEERD!"
Marchosias looked pissed at that and growled, "I'LL RIP YOU APART!"
Ping!
Taunt success!
Ping!
Perk: Alecto's anger has been activated!
· Anger of Alecto- whenever the user succeeds in taunting an enemy they are infected with the Anger of Alecto which gives them double their strength but also makes them clumsy and highly ignorant of their surrounds.
'Well guess that worked,' Percy thought out as Marchosias charged at them again in his shadow form only to crash into the walls of the cave over and over again.
Marchosias HP: 17,384/38,000
Percy smirked and pulled out a blade he got from Hephaestus's forge. He charged Marchosias as it was recovering from it's previous blind charge and began his attack, "Stardust Wave!"
The strikes went all over the monster's body as more and more damage was landed on it's thick fur. But just as Percy finished his 23rd cut Marchosias turned into a cloud and ran away, but the damage was done.
Stardust Wave- 23 strikes x 38 = 874 + 35 Dex = 909%
909% of 250 Attack = 2272 Attack!
60% bonus from sword mastery = 3635 Attack
Marchosias HP: 13,749/38,000
The beast then turned solid again and growled at Percy and his servants, "you are strong mortal I will give you that much."
"Actually I'm a demigod."
"You are still mortal."
"Details."
Marchosias then barked which sounded very much like a laugh, "you are good brat. Very good. But this is wear you die! TOXIC WAVE!" Suddenly Marchosias body exploded out dark green gas that quickly spread out.
'5 drachma say's that's poison,' Percy thought as he held a hand to his nose thinking of a way to get rid of the smoke. Maybe steam control applied here as well? Heck there was moisture in the air why can't he just use that?
Percy then extended his hand out, "steam control!" Percy's mana slowly mixed with the gas Marchosias was letting out and slowly he gained control over it. He then condensed it into liquid form and used it for his next attack,"Poison Spikes!"
The poison reacted to Percy's common and pierced Marchosias several times, six to be exact;
Marchosias HP: 13,269/38,000
Sure that attack alone didn't do much but that was not the point, Percy just wanted Marchosias in one place. Percy then jumped at the now stationary monster and began his Stardust Wave once again.
Percy struck again and again until Marchosias sent Percy back with a shockwave of darkness causing him to land on his ass;
Stardust Wave- 14 strike x 38= 532 + 35 Dex = 567 %
567% of 250 =1417 Attack!
60% bonus from sword mastery = 2267 Attack!
Marchosias HP: 11,002/38,000
Percy then turned to use Water's Kill on the thing for one last attack, but instead of a impaled wolf he saw nothing but smoke. "Zed, Craig get ready he's going to try something desperate!"
And the demon was. Marchosias collected itself and charged at Percy, this time however when Percy tried to dodge, the solid wolf turned into smoke and flew inside him through his mouth.
"ACK!" Percy coughed out as all the smoke went inside him, 'was he trying to kill me from the inside? How do I get him out of me!' Percy held his neck as wisps of smoke came out until suddenly everything went dark and Percy fell to the ground unconscious.
Percy opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place. This wasn't the cave, there was no roof here as the only thing above was darkness. He felt smoke in the air with no moisture, the only sound there was the sound of his own breath.
Percy himself was standing on a narrow walkway which was crumbling at the sides and extended forever on both sides with no end in sight. Below him was fire, a sea of fire that extended forever. All that existed was him, this walkway that lead to nowhere and the figure in front of him was covered in black smoke.
Percy's mind quickly figured what was going on, Marchosias was trying to control him. "I won't let you succeed wolf breath. I won't let you control me."
The shadowy figure then changed. It formed into a beautiful young woman with black curly hair and sky blue eyes. He skin was dark, almost like burst hazelnuts and she stood naked, displaying herself proudly. Her chest was huge and her hips were wide and not one fault could be seen on her perfect skin.
"I never expected it to be easy child," her voice was like honey, "but I will-why are you staring?"
Percy blinked and then shut his open mouth, "ah...no reason."
"You...you have never seen a naked woman before have you?" she asked with a predatory smile as she walked over to him, swaying her hips seductively.
"Well I ah I just never-"
"Shh," she was now right next to him as she pressed a finger to his lips. She then grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him into a tight hug. Percy being shorter ended up buried into her large chest, "it's okay, you can look all you want," she then leaned down and whispered, "you can even touch if you want to."
Percy looked up from the giant pair of breasts that he was showed into to protest but suddenly the woman leaned down and caught his lips is a kiss. Percy tried to protest but her grip was to strong and her lips to soft.
Slowy she pried open his mouth with her tongue and then began to explore every inch of him with it. Percy felt himself being sent to nirvana as a feeling of bliss settled in. everything just felt so good to him. He didn't notice the darkness take over his body.
Outside in the real world Zed and Craig had watched Percy for minutes, hoping nothing happened to their boss when suddenly the body got up.
Percy's skin was now black with his eyes fully white, he was gone now, Marchosias had taken over.
"Ah boss?" Zed asked cautiously and he tried to approach Percy. Suddenly the possessed body moved and with Riptide, slashed at Zed causing the red servant to jump back on instinct, "what the hell man!"
"Possessed," Craig replied in one word and began to battle Percy head on. The possessed demigod was powerful before, but now with the demon possessing him he was unstoppable. He attacked Craig with the vengeance of Hell and was slowly pushing the Knight back.
Just then Zed stepped in and swung at Percy forcing the boy to disengage Craig and jump away to avoid getting cut in half. "Any ideas?" Zed asked Craig as the two readied themselves for another attack from Percy.
"No," Craig simply replied.
"You know what you are great person to talk to, always so full of sagely advice," Zed replied sarcastically as the battle began once more.
Back in that sea of fire Percy found himself losing more and more of himself in the kiss. This woman was so warm and comforting. Being with her was better than anything Percy had ever felt. Her breasts were like pillows being pressed on Percy.
He soon found his hands wandering all over her impressive body as it touched and pressed everything it could. Eventually Percy felt his hands reach and grab her firm ass as he pushed himself deeper into the kiss.
This was it, this was heaven. He didn't need anything else. everything could go and burn for all he cared. This was-
Ping! Ping!
Percy's eyes shot open. He felt the spell over him break. The sound of his life, the sound her had come to know as well as his own name, it snapped him out of it. Percy quickly pulled away from the woman, Gamer's mind helped him stay in control and not kiss her again. Percy looked up and growled, "get out of my body!"
Outside the possessed body of Percy thrusted Riptide into Zed causing the servant to evaporate into smoke and flow into the gauntlet of Kefka. Craig was now alone as he stood on the other side of the cave with a broken chest plate.
The possessed Percy the turned to Craig and walked to the Knight. The first step he took though caused the body to stop suddenly and fall to the ground like a puppet without strings. Out of Percy now came a cloud of black gas that flew away. Seeing this Craig quickly approached Percy and helped him back to his feet.
Percy's head was spinning, his muscles were paining and his bones felt like dust. Marchosias had pushed him to his limit, he had gone beyond what was usually possible for him Craig helped him up, "thanks."
Seeing Zed was not here Percy guessed Marchosias used his body to destroy the servant. He then looked up and saw the notification that saved his life;
A new skill has been created!
Kissing, Lv- 2 (90%)
It is what it is. The higher level you are the better kisser you are. And remember practise makes perfect.
Your level is kissing leave the person unfazed.
Percy looked deadpanned at that, that was the most unusual skill he had ever seen. But whatever it saved his life and he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Percy closed the box and pulled up his HP and MP;
Percy Jackson
HP-322/700
MP-100/500
Marchosias must have rode him pretty hard for him mana and health to fall so low...wait no she didn't ride him, she possessed him. There was no riding of any form involved...sigh moving on.
Marchosias on the other hand;
Marchosias HP: 9,000/38,000
It took a lot out of the monster to try and posses him, and him reject it must have hurt it somewhat. Percy needed to finish this now, before it does something new.
The giant wolf was slowly getting ready for another round, so Percy moved. He turned to Craig, "can you keep him busy?" he asked in a whisper.
The Knight nodded and soon charged the wolf with and began to fight the still exhausted wolf, he managed to get a few hits in but so did Marchosias.
Percy took out the Nectar and Ambrosia that Luke gave him and ate them both quickly;
Percy Jackson
HP-700/700
MP-500/500
He had a plan, it was a crazy plan and it just might get him killed, but fuck it it was all he had. Any attack he did via sword Marchosias could just block with his, no wait her, shock wave of darkness. And any attack he did using water, Marchosias would immediately know was bad news and would just turn into smoke and fly away.
He needed her surprised, he needed her to not see this coming.
Percy then saw Craig being thrown back into the wall as Marchosias growled in victory. This was it.
Percy opened his inventory and pulled out the shovel buster that he equipped on his right hand;
Shovel Buster,
A knuckle buster made out of white metal. It's end is shaped like a shovel to pierce enemies with and to dig up dirt, which ever thing you want.
Attack- 50+(Level of hand to hand combat Str) %
Percy then jumped on Marchosias and shoved the white metal into her neck;
Critical! 350% of 91 attack = 318 Attack!
Marchosias HP: 8,382/38,000
The wolf shook her head and threw Percy off. He landed to the side of the beast and quickly got up only to have Marchosias shove him back down and then try and bite his head off. This was what he wanted. Percy then swung his left hand into her open mouth and called a skill he had just a few hour practise with, Marble Skin;
· Marble Skin, Lv-MAX
A skill that uses Mana that hardens your skin into marble. The more mana you use the denser it becomes.
Defence- (Amount of mana used) x Vit = Durability

Percy poured 100 MP into the defensive move just as Marchosias closed down her jaw biting into his now marble hard hand.
Defence- 3800,
Percy grinned as the wolf struggled to tear off Percy's arm, he could almost see the confusion in her eyes. He stood up slowly, but the wolf didn't let go, she was determined to rip his arm. As he got to his full height Marchosias neck was now exposed and that is exactly what Percy wanted.

Percy then punched Marchosias right in the throat with the shovel buster in hand. He heard the crack of bone as a huge amount of damage was done to Marchosias;

Marchosias HP: 3,950/38,000
Percy hit Marchosias so hard it flew away bursting into a smoke cloud and landed on the other side of the cave.
Percy was panting now, those last two attacks took a lot out of him. He saw his shovel buster crumble in his hand, it couldn't handle the pressure. Great another item destroyed when fighting this thing.
Percy looked at Marchosias, she was exhausted to. Her health was down to the bare minimum, but Percy knew she wouldn't give in so easily.
Marchosias then transformed into her naked female form again, walking towards Percy with a sway in her hips. "Come now boy, you know you don't want to kill me," she said with a lustful smile, "spare my life and I shall give you answers you so wish, for that is my power."
"I don't have questions that need answering thank you very much," Percy said in a dismissive tone, he needed to stay alert and not get distracted by those huge beautiful things in front of him. He looked everywhere but at her, seriously those things are so distracting!
"Really?" the woman asked with a smirk, "not even who the Lightning Thief is?"
Percy's eyes widened at that. If he...if he spared her he would know who to blame, who did this to him. But she could lie, no...no he didn't think she would do that. She would gain nothing from that, and if he found out she did lie to him she knew he would come back to kill her. So why? Why would she lie? No….she must be telling the truth.
He could kill her and with the gauntlet of Kefka make her his slave and then make her tell him, yes, yes that might work. But he would need to be strong, he would need to get her close, and like last time the moment her defence is down he could kill her. Percy resolved himself, he needed to know who the Lightning thief was. He looked up at Marchosias,"deal."
The demon smirked as she walked over and grabbed Percy by the collar and pressed her lips to his. The moment their lips touched Percy instantly knew this was a mistake. He lost all sense of control the kiss was far more powerful than last time, Percy didn't stand a chance.
She pushed her tongue passed his lips and then began to explore him once again. She then opened his mouth wide and started to suck his tongue as she slowly grinded up against him.
Percy couldn't do anything, he was losing himself again. He needed to break free;

Percy's eyes shot up at the sound, now she was trying to take over him again, he needed to escape. But her grip on him was to strong, every time he tried to move away she pulled him closer as her kisses became stronger and hotter.

She then moved to his neck sucking on the skin until they turned blue. She then pushed Percy into the wall of the cave and pulled back, "you shouldn't have trusted me, stupid boy."
"We had a deal," Percy growled out.
The demon smiled as she lowered her hands to his pants, "and now I'm changing the deal. You will remain here with me forever. You are already mine."
Percy then looked behind her and smirked, "yeah, but he isn't."
Marchosias' eyes widened as she turned around just in time to have Craig's giant blade cut her in half. "AH!" she roared as she transformed into smoke and flew back, breaking Percy out of her control.
Percy fell to his knees, "thanks Craig."
The Knight nodded as he turned to face Marchosias, who was now in her wolf form again with her health severely depleted;
Marchosias HP: 1,250/38,000
Craig's attack had done a lot of damage to her. Percy reached into his pants and got Riptide out. He uncapped the blade and got ready for the demon's next attack. He let her trick him once, never again.
Craig ad Percy charged Marchosias, but the demon was faster. She transformed into smoke once again and slammed into Craig sending him back and then turned to Percy. She took on the form of a wolf again and then pounced at Percy.
The son of Poseidon held up his left hand in defence and for his trouble Marchosias bite into his left bicep. Luckily he still had his Marble Skin active so he didn't get hurt but Marchosias didn't care, she pressed on and soon her fangs broke Percy's marble skin and drew blood.
"AH!" Percy cried out as he tried to shake her off of him. Instead Marchosias began to chant something in a language Percy had never heard as slowly he felt something being injected into his bloodstream.
Percy then swung his right hand, "Earthquake Fist!" The attack hit Marchosias in the face finally releasing her from Percy's hands;
Marchosias HP: 750/38,000
Percy then got up up holding his arm in pain. On his left bicep were three teeth marks where her fangs broke his skin, his blood was leaking out and he could feel whatever she put inside of him moving across his body.
"What did you do to me?!" Percy roared out as he's struggled to his feet.
The wolf started to chuckle, "I cursed you boy. I have cursed you to a life of misery and resentment. From now till the end of time you will always have to be careful, always remain in control, because if you falter for even one second you will lose control and kill everyone and everything around you."
Ping!

WARNING: The only way to stop this is to either kill Percy, shock Percy awake with something surprising or have no more enemies left to kill.
Percy looked at the box in horror, this was real...this was actually happening. He then turned to Marchosias, "you bitch."
The wolf laughed, "why thank you boy. Now," it lowered itself ready to pounce, "let's finish this."
Percy got up and pulled out a spare bronze blade from his inventory. He then looked at Marchosias as he felt his pure hatred for the demon rise up. The two stared at each other for a long time before the dashed forward at nearly the exact same time, "Stardust Wave!"
Percy and the wolf attacked each other relentlessly. She tore into his legs while he cut her ears off. Percy attacked her 9 times and in the end Marchosias fell down after getting her health cut down to 0.
Stardust wave- 9 strike x 38 Vit = 342 + 35 Dex= 377%
377% of 250 Attack = 942 Attack!
Marchosias HP: 0/38,000
Percy collapsed into Marchosias decomposing body as a hollow voice rung out, "you may have killed me boy. But I still win."
Percy looked at the golden dust she transformed into and sighed, she was right, this was his lose. Percy kneeled there for minutes on end. He was devastated but his Gamer's mind kicked in. He could ether cry about it or accept it and move on. And since there was nothing he could do about it, he decided to do the latter. And maybe he was worrying about nothing, after all he did have Gamer's mind, it would keep him in check.
Ping!
Quest Completed!
Defeat the demon wolf,
Reward,

Wolfskin jacket
And there in the golden dust appeared a black and red jacket. Percy picked it up and saw that the jacket was his size and on the back was the trident of Poseidon;
Wolfskin jacket,
A leather jacket made out of Marchosias' skin. It is immune to most weapons and it is immune to magic to a certain degree. It's durability can be compared to that of the skin of the Nemean lion and is know to be water resistant.

Percy put on the jacket, and unsurprisingly it fits like a glove. He looked down and as the golden dust faded away more loot was found;
3000$
Skill book: Smoke form
Percy put the money away and picked up the book;
Ping!

Ping!
Skill aquired!
Smoke from, Lv- 1 (0%)
Turns the user's body into smoke, colour depends on person.
Cost- 250 MP
Duration- 25 seconds
Percy nodded, this was a useful skill to have, it did have it's weakness but then again so did every skill. Percy then turned to Craig and dismissed him with a wave of his hand. He then channeled mana into the gauntlet and saw the well of souls, and there standing before him in all her naked glory was the woman who cursed him.
Percy pulled her soul out and out of the gauntlet of Kefka arose smoke. It then transformed into Marchosias as the naked demon went to her knees bowing before Percy, "my master."
Percy spoke, "get up Marchosias," and she did, "now tell me. Who is the Lightning thief?"
Marchosias smiled, "in order for me to answer your question master I need a sacrifice in return."
"What kind of sacrifice?"
"A human soul willingly given."
"Why?"
"My powers is that of a demon, even if I wanted to tell you, I can't. By the laws of hell, the christian one I mean, a demon can't give anything away without gaining something back. And in this case I need a soul to tell you the answers you seek."
"You never mentioned that before," Percy replied crossing his arms.
"I didn't want to mention it before."
"So what was your plan? Kiss me, take my soul and then answer my question when I am dead?" Percy asked.
"Pretty much."
Percy sighed, "what can you tell me Marchosias."
The demon smiled a wicked grin, "I can tell you that you are a decent kisser."
Percy blushed but quickly dismissed the demon away. Such a drag. Percy then walked to the entrance of the cave and placed his hand on the door. A click echoed through the cave and slowly the door opened.
Light came back and Percy winced at that but walked out of the cae and to the colony of fairies he had saved.
On the floor next to the door where the chain of Hephaestus, they deactivated the moment Percy defeated Marchosias and fell to the floor. Luke and Grover ran up to him, "Percy!"
Percy smiled, "hey guys," he then hugged Luke and Grover, "miss me?"
"Percy what happened?!"Luke cried out in panic, "I thought we lost you!"
"Relax man it's all good."
"What was inside there Percy?" Grover asked as he looked at the cave, "it feels like...it feels like death."
"A demon from hell, the christian one, not our version," Percy replied, "but it's okay I took care of it."
"You killed a demon from hell at the age of 12," Edward Neak said walking up the three, " and you simply dismiss it as, 'oh yeah I took care of it'."
Luke grinned at his half brother, "yeah that's just how Percy is."
"Is that where you got this jacket from?" Edward asked.
Percy quickly thought up and excuse, "yup, spoils of war."
Grover then spoke up, "ah...guys," he then pointed to the faerie who were all cheering in their strange language, "they are saying thanks," he translated, "thanks for killing the demon."
Percy smiled as one of the bigger fairies approached him and floated in front of his nose, "you're welcome."
The fairy's voices then became louder and louder, Luke turned to Grover,"what are they saying now?"
"They are saying, 'long live Percy Jackson the killer of Marchosias and defender of the fairies'"
Edward smiled at that, "all hail Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, killer of Marchosias and friend to faiers."
They all mocked bowed to him "hey knock it off!" Percy yelled as they all laughed at this.
"Ah Percy," Grover asked, "why are you covered in hickeys?"
Percy blushed, "the ah...the ah- demon, kind of tried to seduce me."
Luke, Edward and Grover looked at him with blank looks and then all at once then shouted, "WHAT?!"
Percy leaned back from the force of that question, "yeah. Marchosias is actually a woman, and when I was kicking her ass she kind of tried to seduce me."
"What did she do?" Grover asked.
"She-ah kissed me?"
"And gave you hickes?" Edward asked, to which Percy nodded.
"Holy shit! You made out with a demon!" Luke cried out, "all hail Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon the boy, no, the man who made out with a demon!"
This time the three bowed lower than before, "stop it you assholes!" Percy cried out but they didn't stop.
"Teach us master!" Luke cried out.
"We are not worthy!" Edward claimed.
"Hey Percy quick question did she have, a-ah healthy body?" Grover asked.
Percy sighed, "yes Grover she had a very healthy body."
"Score!" Luke cried out.
"Okay that's it it's time to celebrate!" Edward cried, "we are going to party tonight!"
Percy smiled at the antics and quickly nodded, "okay, but just wait one second" Percy then grabbed the chain, the very thing he came for;
Chain of Hephaestus,
A legendary item that can seal a god's power. It is unbreakable and inescapable. It does not affect demigods.
Percy hide the chain from view of the others and quickly put it into his inventory for safe keeping. He then pretended to put it in his bag and quickly went to the group, "alright let's go."
The four then left the faerie colony and came to the living room of the Paul Revere house. The then snuck back out and saw that it was night time already. Edward called his limo, which arrived in two minutes and the four got in.
"Where to sir?" asked the driver.
"Club Ruso," Edward replied with a grin. He turned to the three questers and frowned, "actually let's go to Mr. Xenobia's first these guys aren't dressed for the occasion."
"Right sir," the driver replied as he pulled up the window giving Percy and his group their privacy.
"Where are we going?" Percy asked.
"I am going to introduce you three to the Boston nightlife."
"But we aren't allowed into clubs," Grover replied.
Edward smiled, "Mist."
And hour later,
Club Ruso was filled with loud music and louder people. The drinks flowed freely and the drugs were in plenty. It was Sunday night, but these people didn't care, they partied like there was no tomorrow.
The women were all beautiful, dressed in clothes that hugged them tightly leaving little to the imagination and all the men were dressed in suits each more handsome that the next. People were either drunk or getting there, as they flirted, made out or danced with their respective partners. They were all lost in the moment, until the doors of the club opened up revealing four men, all dressed in suits.
At the head of this new group of Edward Neak, the most eligible bachelor in town. Next to him wearing a red suit, white shirt and a red tie was a blond haired man that looked 25, he smiled at the women there capturing their hearts instantly.
Behind these two was a man in a lime-green suit, black shirt and a black top hat. he smiled nervously and to the mortals he looked around 24. And lastly behind all of them was a young man who looked just about 21 dressed in a black suit with a blue shirt and black tie. Most women however noticed his eyes before anything else as the boy had the brightest sea-green eyes they had ever seen.
Percy smiled at the attention they got. A little bit of Mist control on Luke's part and all three managed to sneak in no problem. Edward then drew everyone's attention by raising a hand up in the air and shouting, "make some noise Boston!"
The club erupted in approval as Edward lead the group to the bar where he got a round of shots, "to family," Neak said raising his shot glass up.
"To family," repeated the others as they downed the drink in one swing.
"Oh gods!" Percy cried out the moment he swallowed it, "what the hell is that?!"
"Vodka my dear friend," Edward replied, "I take it this is your first drink?"
Percy nodded as he tried to suppress the burning in his throat, "gods this hurts."
Luke laughed as he downed a second shot of vodka, "welcome to adulthood Percy!"
"Okay then lads," Edward stood up looking around the club, "let's go and have some fun."
Percy quickly went to the dancefloor. It was an orgy of people, except most still had their clothes on. Percy didn't really know what to do there were people all over the place just jumping and grinding, he didn't really know what to do.
"Hello there," a voice called out. Percy turned and standing before him was a cute girl with black hair and bright brown eyes. She wore a red dress that hugged her body very tightly, with a long neckline that stopped in the center of her chest showing a lot of cleavage.
"H-hello," 'fucking hell Percy stop stammering', Percy thought as he focused, "can I help you?"
"I was wondering whether you wanted to dance," she asked as she walked closer to him.
"Oh god yes," Percy replied as the girl took his arm and slowly took him inside the mass of people dancing.
She then pulled him close as she lead them deeper and deeper into the mass of dancers. Percy could only watch as she danced up and down waving her arms all over as she slowly surfed the waves of the people. It was like she knew where and how the people would move and could move along with them. If there was a god that controlled party surfing she would be his daughter.
Percy then moved with her, sometimes getting very close to her, but she didn't seem to mind. Eventually she got them to the center of the dance floor and Percy pushed up against her back. It's not like he wanted to, it was just people kept pushing him towards her.
"You know," she spoke, her voice cutting through the music, "you can actually touch me."
She then grabbed Percy's hands and placed them on her hips. Percy tried to move them up to her stomach but she pulled them back down. "Have you ever danced like this before?"
"No, never," Percy replied.
"Then let me teach you."
She then pressed her back into Percy as the two danced the night away. Percy moved like she did, danced like she did and all through the night held her tight and close.

"And I never got yours," the girl replied with a smile.

She thinks Percy is a nice guy.
She is very happy and nervous right now.
Percy smiled at the happy part, but why was she nervous? Was he that amazing?
"Well Attalia it is nice to meet you," Percy said with the best smile he could put out.
"So what are you doing here Percy?" the girl asked sipping her drink.
"Oh nothing much, just talking to a beautiful girl."
"Haha, you are quite the charmer aren't you pretty boy."
"You think I'm pretty, beautiful?"
"Do you think I'm beautiful, handsome?"
"Well yes obviously I do," Percy said with a smile, "I mean have you seen yourself in a mirror?"
Ping!

Attalia smiled, "next time keep the banter going, it gives a girl a challenge."
Percy chuckled, "I'm sorry to disappoint."
"Oh believe me Percy you I am not disappointed," she then flipped her hair back and looked at Percy the way a cat would a mouse, 'yeah I am so lucky,'Percy thought.
But just then a cry went out, "get her!" Percy then saw two men appear out of the crowd and grab Attalia and pull her away.
"Hey!" Percy cried out as he chased after the two men. One of them stayed back and engaged Percy in combat while the other took a squirming Attalia out of the club.
The man threw a right at Percy's face only for the boy to dodge it and smash his fist into the grunts stomach causing the man to bend over in pain. Percy then kicked the man's head and turned to the exit.
Suddenly three more men came in dressed same as the ones that kidnapped Attalia. They looked at their fallen comrade and then at Percy. "Ah...that guy did it?" Percy pointed at a man sitting next to him.
"Hey!" cried out the man.
Lie failed!
The three newcomers turned back to Percy who simply sighed, one of these days that would work.
The three men pulled out knuckle buster and charged Percy. The people in the club stopped moving and was now looking at the fight that was to come. Percy dodged the first man and kicked him to the side only to have the second man puch Percy right across the face.
"Fuck!"
Percy wiped the blood which was flowing out and kneed the man who punched him. He grabbed him and then threw him into the last grunt. Percy then grabbed the chair he was sitting on and smashed it over the first man who was getting up.
"Fucking idiots," Percy muttered as he walked away to find Luke, Edward and Grover.
He did find them, fairly quickly in fact. Grover was passed out on the bar muttering his love for Juniper, Luke was busy making out with a hot blonde wearing very little clothing and Edward…..well you don't want to know what he was doing.
Percy sighed, he hated days like this.

A kiss
Failure,
Attalia will forever be pissed at you.
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and immediately went to the third man that he took down. He was getting up slowly but Percy pushed him down with a foot and stood over him, "who the hell are you and where did you take Attalia?"
"I didn't see nothing!" the man said spitting at Percy.
Percy sighed wiping away the spit. He grabbed the man by his collar and dragged him away from the public.
"Hey where are you taking me?" the man asked as he tried to get away from Percy's grip, but it was to strong.
Percy took them to the men's toilet and threw him into the wall.
"Are you going to interrogate me? Fine! Try it! I'll tell you nothing!"
Percy simply smiled and cracked his knuckles, 'I am so going to enjoy this.'
A few seconds later,
"We are part of the Fanico family and our boss sent us to kidnap the girl so that we can use her to blackmail her dad! We decided to hide her in 'Lola's chocolate factory,' the warehouse downtown!"
"Anything else?" Percy asked with bloodlust.
"I love Britney Spears! I don't care what people say about her, I love her!"
Percy smiled, "thanks for that." He then pushed the grunt unconscious and quickly walked out of the toilet.
Percy exited the club and walked into a nearby alley where he took out his gauntlet of Kefka. He summoned Alecto who appeared and bowed, "master. I am glad to see you survived the encounter with the demon."
Percy nodded, "yes. But not without a price. But right now I need you to fly me to downtown Boston."
Alecto nodded and quickly carried off Percy into the air, "you sure Zeus won't mind?" Percy asked as they flew along the Boston skyline.
"He cannot detect me and my sisters. We can hide ourselves from his gaze, hence why we are of great use to Hades and don't get shot with lightning bolts every time we fly."
Percy nodded as they quickly reached their destination. "Where now my master."
"I'm not sure," Percy was searching the warehouse district and immediately spotted the Lola's chocolate factory warehouse, "there!"
Alecto dived down and dropped Percy in front of the warehouse, "you wish for me to stay?"
Percy shook his head, "no. It's not a life threatening situation. I just want to have some fun is all." And with that he dismissed Alecto with a wave of his hand and then put away the gauntlet.
Percy adjusted his tie and put on his best smile as he walked into the warehouse. Inside Percy found several guards walking around with guns in tow, huh this might be a challenge. Attalia must be in the manager's office on the other side of the building.
Percy pulled out a sword he got as loot from killing a skeleton. It was a normal iron sword, so it should affect human to. Percy then began walking through the warehouse whistling a jolly tune while twirling his sword around.
After the first turn he ran into a guard, "who are you?" the mafia man asked.
"Nobody," Percy replied checkley.
"Well then Nobody better leave," he then pointed a sub-machine gun at Percy, "or else."
Percy smiled and opened his inventory box in front of him and expanded it to cover his entire body like a wall, "try me bitch."
The mafia man frowned and pulled the trigger. The submachine gun went off in quick succession spraying bullets at Percy only for each bullet to enter Percy's inventory and disappear. The man stopped shooting and looked at Percy with wide eyes, "w-what are you?"
Percy smiled, "I'm the son of a god." Then then dashed forward and hit the man with the flat side of his sword knocking him out. Percy then reached for the unconscious humans gun and Observed it;
PP-2000
A machine gun made by the KBP Instrument design bureau. it is a 9mm round and is capable of using armour piercing rounds and can store 44 rounds. It was previously used by Russia but is also common in the hands of the russian mafia.
Bullets left- 23
Percy smiled and put the gun away, it could be useful later. He then checked the man fully scoring another cartridge of bullets and a cigarette lighter.
Percy then move and as he approached a turn another man appeared. The new grunt didn't even have time to respond as Percy knocked the man out with a punch and looted his body.
Percy then climbed the racks of the warehouse and began knocking out every man patrolling the place. It was very fun, he kind of felt like Batman. Jumping out of the shadows, beating mafia members up, kicking ass with an awesome suit.
Percy eventually finished everyone there, the entire floor was clear of mobsters. Percy then walked to the end of the warehouse and there snuck to the window, unfortunately the shades were drawn.
'If only I had a way to spy on them from here...wait do?' Percy then pulled up his skill list and there it was;
Shadow Spying, Lv- 1 (0%)
You can use send your mana to infected another person shadow. For a certain time you will be able to hear whatever the person say and hears.
Mana- 10 MP every minute it is in use
Limit- 12 hours.
With this he should technically be able to spy on the people inside. Percy then activated his skill and sent out his mana through the wall and into the other room. It then caught onto the shadow on somebody there and Percy could hear what was being said.
"Listen well princess my boss is going to call very soon with your dad on the line. I'm going to give you the phone and you will talk, but you tell your dad one word about where you are and you're dead."
Okay that was obviously the bad guy.
"Kiss my ass," that a girl.
SLAP!
Percy winced at the sound of that and his Gamer's mind worked overtime to bring down his anger, after all is he loses control the curse of Le Bete would activate and that was the last thing he needed.
Percy then looked around at the bodies littering the floor of the warehouse and an idea came to him. He put away his sword and grabbed a single body from the pile of unconscious and dragged it to the manager's office.
"Okay you bitch I'm going to give you the phone now," the grunt said, "remember what I told you."
Perfect timing. Percy picked up the body and then threw it through the window. The noise and the sight caused the distraction Percy needed.
"What the fuck?!"
Percy then slammed into the door and rolled into the office. He looked up and saw the grunt's startled look and Attalia look of surprise. Percy moved before the grunt could and kicked his jaw knocking the man backwards and into a wall.
Percy then walked up to the man and saw he was unconscious. He then picked up the phone the man had and pressed his ear on it.
"Hello? Hello are you there Dick? Give the phone to the girl!"
Percy channeled some bloodlust into his voice, "all your men are gone. If you don't want the same thing to happen to you then you won't ever attack this girl again."
"W-who the hell are you?"
"Your worst nightmare," Percy then threw the phone down and crushed it under his foot. He then turned to Attalia, "hello beautiful. What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?"
Attalia looked stunned, "w-what are you doing here Percy?"
Percy then began to undo her bonds, "well we were having such a nice conversation before, before these men took you away, very rude of them."
Ping!

Percy swiped it away and then helped Attalia to her feet, "Yo-you came for me?"

Percy stood in the platform next to the train that would take them to LA. Last night was fun. It helped him calm down after the whole curse thing. Also the kissing was fun, he gained two more levels before Attalia thought she had given him a sufficient reward.

Your level is kissing gives the person a reason to remember you
He kind of felt bad because the way she saw it he was an older man, 21 or so, but in reality he was 12, kind of made it a akward. But in the end that didn't matter. Percy walked her home and then crashed in his motel room. In the morning he found Grover and Edward also in the motel with a note from Luke saying he would meet them at the station.
So Percy now stood with Grover and Edward, both of whom were wearing shades and had ice packs pressed up against their heads.
"Pain," Grover moaned, "so much pain."
"Yeah well that's what a hangover is," Percy said with a smirk.
"Just-just-, keep quiet okay?"
"Sure G-man," Percy said as he then turned to Edward, "thanks again Edward. We couldn't have gotten those chains without you."
The man took of the ice pack and grinned, "not a problem Percy. You helped the people I considered family and for that you have my respect and gratitude. If there is anything you need, don't be afraid to ask."
Percy smiled at that, "got it."
Just then the train whistled signaling the start of the journey. Percy and Grover got on and waited nervously for Luke to show up.
"There," Grover said pointing at a figure running through the crowd of people in the station.
By the time Luke was halfway to them the train had already started to leave, "come on Luke!"
Just then three women jumped out of the crowd of people and ran after Luke, "get back here Luke!"
Percy recognized one of them women, Luke was making out with her last night.
"We are going to kill you!" cried another as the train started to pick up speed. Luke realized he was not going to make it. He then jumped up and shouted, "MAIA!" Suddenly wings sprouted out of his shoes and he flew into Grover and Percy crashing into them.
The three then turned back and watched as the train left the station and the three angry women behind. Luke got up and then started laughing, "HAHA! Oh gods that was a close one!"
"What did you do?" Percy asked as he helped Grover up.
"I ah-may have made out with all three of them last night."
"And?"
"And I didn't realise they were sisters."
Percy and Grover laughed at Luke's antics as the three walked into the train and quickly sat down in their cabin.
"Well atleast we are heading to LA now," Luke replied.
"Yup," Percy nodded in agreement. Today 13th of June. He had 8 days to find his mom, the lightning bolt and the lightning thief. Easy as pie. Percy then looked at Luke's shoes, "where did you get those Luke?"
"Oh these? I stole them from my dad," Luke said with a grin, "figured he owed me some overdue birthday gifts."
Percy nodded and then Observed the shoes;
Hermes's flying shoes,
These shoes will sprout wings and fly at the command of the wearer. They are charmed to be durable and will only break if you cut the wings off. Activation spell, 'Maia.'
Warning! These shoes are charmed to send their wearer straight into Tartarus the moment the person who wears it enters Hades.
Percy's eyes widened, what the hell is going on.
